The mezzanine at the Minskoff is unusually far from the stage. I felt like I wanted to be closer at first, but it's true that the overall view is great.
I like Sheridan's personality but her voice leaves a LOT to be desired. She doesn't seem to have much vibrato or ability to sustain notes (that last one was one long straight tone). Oh, well. I'll be interested to see how it's received in the UK.
Yeah, I'm curious who is creating the "popular demand". I don't know about the cast, but that song is incredibly irritating to me. I can't imagine having to sing it 8 times a week. :p
